Indonesia (specifically the Strait of Malacca) has long been rife with piracy, but that area is becoming less of a problem thanks to the concerted efforts of the various governments in the region. If the regional governments continue to combat piracy, and it appears likely that they will, then addressing piracy in Somalia and possibly Nigeria should take precedence over addressing piracy in that particular area.
I disagree with labeling the pirates off Somalia as terrorists. Hitherto, the pirates have not displayed the desire to employ violence as a means to enact political change. It is, for lack of a better term, all about the money. This could change, but that has not yet happened.
